Auto Parts TOYOTA Engine Piston 5L 13101-54120

The main function of the piston is to withstand the gas pressure of the cylinder, and pass this force to the connecting rod through the piston pin to promote the Crankshaft rotation, it passes the pressure of the combustion gas to the crankshaft, so that the crankshaft rotates and outputs power; The top of the piston also forms the combustion chamber together with the cylinder head and cylinder wall.

The Engine piston is mainly used in internal combustion engines. An internal combustion engine is a device that converts chemical energy into mechanical energy, in which an engine is a type of internal combustion engine. The piston in the engine is another name for the Engine Piston, which is one of the important components of the internal combustion engine.

What happens if engine piston is broken?

A cracked piston causes extra air to penetrate inside the cylinder and piston which decreases the compression ratio. It works in the opposite direction and blows out the necessary air and oil from the piston. It requires a cylinder leak-down test to confirm the cracks in the cylinder.

A diesel piston is a very important component of any engine which is why we’ve created a quick guide to explain what a diesel piston is, how it works, what causes damage to piston parts and how to prevent this from happening. 

What is a Diesel Piston and How Do They Work?

A diesel piston is a metal cylinder which moves up and down inside the engine cylinder through varying stages of the combustion cycle, which is connected to the engine’s crankshaft via a connecting rod. When a piston moves down, it draws in air and fuel into the cylinder and when the piston moves up this air and fuel is then compressed. 
A piston also has the important job of creating an area of low pressure inside the cylinder, opposing the higher level of air pressure that sits outside the cylinder. As a piston forms the lower part of the combustion chamber in a diesel engine, it also has the job of absorbing the heat caused from combustion, conducting it away from the metal temperature to keep it within safe limits.
